a dinner time miracle!

Did you know that blueberries suddenly make everything edible? That chicken that Daddy made that you firmly shoved away - miraculously edible with blueberries. Those green beans? Blueberries solve that problem, too!

Oh.my.goodness. I thought DS wouldn't eat things because of texture issues, but he ate every.single.bite from his plate without a fuss once I pulled out the blueberries. I thought we were past this bribery nonsense. We've had some SERIOUS mealtime meltdowns over the past few months, and I thought it was texture aversion since he would spit it out as soon as it touched his tongue. We've been scrambling to find him alternative meals at dinner time (which I swore I'd never do) because we just needed him to eat. After that first blueberry, I barely had to even prompt him to eat another bite.

Little sneaky mastermind. All of this food rejection has merely been a ploy to get more blueberries...

This is just an age thing, right?

    He didn't fall for that. I had to give him one after every bite. Sheesh.

    I'm glad we're not the only ones who still have to bribe!

    Hopefully blueberries are on sale where you are because they're pricey here right now!
    Yes they are, thank goodness. I hadn't purchased any for awhile because of price.

    DD is generally a pretty good eater, but we have just recently discovered food negotiations. I'm excited to try to use this tactic to get her to eat some chicken that is not in breaded nugget form!  I have some frozen yobaby yogurt squeezers lined up to offer as a reward.

    "Food negotiations" sounds so much better than "bribery."
